  • Abbreviations: AUROCC, Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve; LASSO, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator; SVM, Support vector machines; CART, Classification and Regression Tree Algorithm.

  • Notes: The AUROCC was not estimable for the LASSO heuristic model on the validation set of clinician-reported symptom data, as all patients were assigned the same score in this set.
